I'm considering getting some heated gloves..Any ideas, maybe Ride Iron or Keiss or whatever ?
Looked at having batteries for my Gerbing gloves, but the time provided by the batteries wasn't enough for my rides, so I went for the wiring to the bike battery.Ordered yesterday from SBS and delivered this morning...excellent service
Great gloves too
I have some Gerbing X12 Gloves and wiring which I bought about 10 years ago, they only function when wired direct to the bike, which is a bit of a faff, that's why I wanted battery powered heated glovesLooked at having batteries for my Gerbing gloves, but the time provided by the batteries wasn't enough for my rides, so I went for the wiring to the bike battery.

Good points ...The wires weren't a 'deal breaker' per se, but they were an annoyance to me...Mind you I can be a grumpy old fkr at timesOther than the possible inconvenience of a power lead (and some bods’ concerns about wiring one in) there is very little to beat tapping into the very reliable surfeit of electrical power kicked out by even the most basic of motorcycles. But hey, if a garment’s battery works in line with the owner’s best expectations, go for it.

I have my gloves over the jacket sleeves as this stops rain going up the sleeves. These gloves look quite narrow around the cuff area. Would they fit over the jacket?I have some Gerbing X12 Gloves and wiring which I bought about 10 years ago, they only function when wired direct to the bike, which is a bit of a faff, that's why I wanted battery powered heated gloves
I'll report back when I've had chance to try out the new gloves...they were expensive, but there's a big discount on them at the moment
I've had both short and long cuffs all Gerbing. My Rukka jacket has neoprene cuffs to stop water going up the sleeves. I found when I had the long cuff gloves over the jacket sleeves the rain went into the gloves. But the short cuffs with the controls on, make it a bit of faff to do up the zip on the sleeve over the gloves and of course you can't adjust the leat settings as you can't see the buttons. So I just set them and then do the zips of the sleeves up. First world problems, but at least they keep my hands toasty.I have my gloves over the jacket sleeves as this stops rain going up the sleeves. These gloves look quite narrow around the cuff area.

I find it the other way. The rain goes up the sleeves if the gloves are under the jacket. The controls being easy to get at is a good point too.I've had both short and long cuffs all Gerbing.

I would imagine that most name brands offer similar levels of warmth and waterproofness. Fit would be my priority. I find the thumbs on most gloves are too long and as the left thumb does all the important controls, it needs not to have an inch of overhang. I would need to visit a shop that carried a number of brands.I'm considering getting some heated gloves..Any ideas, maybe Ride Iron or Keiss or whatever ?
Glen, I haven't ridden out on the bike with these gloves yet, however there is enough space with the Gloves cuff for the glove to fit over my jacket cuff, FYI I wear a RevIt jacket which has velcro cuff adjustmentI have my gloves over the jacket sleeves as this stops rain going up the sleeves.
